what an idiotic post. judge gonzales has been by the president's side for the last four years. he developed the legal strategy for the war on terror. he advised the president to seek a constitutional amendment to protect marriage. he has given the president a slew of conservative judicial nominees for the appellate courts. and he advised the president to sign the ban on partial birth abortion. what's not to like about that? he's clearly in the conservative mainstream, even if we don't like his position on one case about racial preferences. when are we going to learn -- you can't build a majority by imposing a 100 percent purity test on all appointees.
I agree....and as an employee of the Dept of Justice, let me tell you, we were happy has hell thast this is our new boss and there were alot of tears flowing today listening to his statement at the announcement of his nomination. in addition, i saw him speak at an event in houston 8 years ago and he was wonderful....he truly is the american dream come true! Go Alberto!
